Last night, the league I’ve been following all season (because of my Pioneer Pulse blog), the Sun Belt, provided us with what The Mid-Majority calls the “first eternal highlight reel moment” of this Championship Fortnight: a game-winning #superhoop by Arkansas-Little Rock’s Solomon Bozeman, showing why he was the conference’s player of the year:
The entire ending of the game, particularly the final minute, was intense. I was already calling it an “INSTANT CLASSIC” before Bozeman’s shot sent me (and just about everyone else) into a tweet-frenzy. I can’t find a video of the whole closing sequence, but you can get a little flavor of it from this ESPN clip. (Random aside: Media companies that post clips on YouTube, but disable embedding, don’t understand YouTube. In a word, #FAIL.)
I almost wish I’d kept my ticket and flown to Arkansas for that game even though DU wasn’t in it. What a game! I can only hope tonight’s Big Sky title game in Greeley, which I’ll be at, will be half as entertaining as the Sun Belt’s grand finale.
